TreeView manual<br />

Control the type of tree being displayed. The Phylogram command is only available if the tree has branch<br />

lengths. Radial draws the tree as an unrooted tree radiating from a central point. Branches are scaled by their length<br />

(if tree has branch lengths), otherwise each branch has the same length.<br />

Show internal edge labels<br />

Some programs store information about the internal nodes as labels for those nodes. Examples include PHYLIP<br />

CONSENSE and CLUSTALW which store cluster or split frequencies in the tree description, although they do it<br />

differently: The PHYLIP CONSENSE program stores the frequency of groups in the consensus tree as edge<br />

lengths. Use this command to view these values (they look best on a Rectangular cladogram). CLUSTALW *<br />

.PHB files store bootstrap values as labels of the internal nodes of the the tree.<br />

Other programs that use internal labels are Spectrum by Mike Charleston (http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/mike/<br />

Spectrum.html), which stores split numbers, and Autodecay 3.0 (Torsten.Eriksson@botan.su.se) which stores<br />

decay indicies.<br />

<strong>TREEVIEW</strong> reads and stores these labels, and will display them if the Show internal edge labels command is<br />

checked.<br />

Internal label font<br />

You can change the font used to label the internal edges (and the scale bar you are viewing a phylogram)<br />

independently of the font used to label the terminal taxa. Under Windows the standard font dialog box is displayed,<br />

the Macintosh version displays a similar dialog box.<br />

Order<br />

You can have <strong>TREEVIEW</strong> order the tree such that "heavier" nodes (i.e., those with more descendants) are either<br />

drawn to the left or to the right, or restore the original order.<br />

Choose tree<br />

Displays a dialog box listing all the trees in the file being displayed in the current tree window.<br />

Define outgroup<br />

You can define a set of taxa to be the outgroup. Note that your tree will not be rooted with this outgroup until you<br />

choose the Root with outgroup command.<br />

Root with outgroup<br />

Roots the tree using the currently defined outgroup.<br />

Print Trees<br />

Displays a dialog box which allows you to print more than one tree per page:<br />
